Spyder diffs

[captain harlock]

Okay, what about the bearings that come with the RacrX and the UE cvds? are they also equal in size?

[squeeforever]

do you plan on getting the 8mm cvds? or the 6?

[Sneeck]

6 mm cvd's will fit the bearing's that come with the racer x kit. 8 mm cvd's need bigger bearing's.

[captain harlock]

Okay, everything seems fine till now. Let's talk about the drive train a bit more. The forward only conversion from Unlimited Engineering seems a good Idea for the e-maxx, however, is it going to save me any trouble with the G-maxx single speed conv. I mean, does it fit in the g-maxx single speed conversion without any modifications like cutting the out put front shaft of the FOC? what modifications am I going to do if the FOC does not fit in the single speed kit?

[squeeforever]

with a e-maxx there is no reverse servos like the t-maxx. the tranny will operate in forward and reverse with no additional gears. thus, you can reverse the diffs and tranny to conpensate for weight distribution, ect. all you need for the tranny is the flm cnc'd half, mikes idler, and the gorillamaxx single speed conversion, as well as the stock gears in the rest. also, i would stay away from the lightweight input and output shafts. the only thing i would do is get the lightweight idler shafts since they do not move and the idler only spins on them. although you will only save a few grams.

[captain harlock]

Saving weight is not my point. I just read about these steel gears made by ue and I thought it would be a good idea to make the whole drivetrain beefed up with metal gear...opps..I mean metal gears. So if I'm to use a high powered brushless setup, is it not a good idea to use the FOC to guarantee the safety of the drivetrain?

[Sylvester]

Its ok, you wont need the FOC conversion to beef up the tranny, all it does is save you a couple of grams of weight and eliminates reverse, these gears are intended for racers.

[captain harlock]

If I dont buy it, then I'll surely save myself some money, but are you truley sure its unneeded? Mike did not recommend it as well.

[Sylvester]

Its unneeded in a g-maxx 1 speed, just keep reverse and save yourself some money and hassle.

[captain harlock]

Okay, you saved me this time, indeed. The wheels and tires, what do you recommend me to use?

[Papa]

The FOC is only used in nitro. It will NOT work with the emaxx tranny. REverse will be handled by your speed control. You can choose to program with or without reverse.

[captain harlock]

Right, I completely forgot. Whew, almost going to take it. Thanks guys. How about the rims and tires?

[Sylvester]

I reccomend to get 23mm dace or pro-line(im gonna use pro-line just cause they cost alot less) adaptors and get wabash rims, on 40 series crime fighters or bow-ties.

[captain harlock]

The adapters that come with the Ue 6mm cvds are not useful with the 23mm tires? the ones that Mike has.

[Sylvester]

No, they are not useful with the 23mm tires, as the hex hub the 6mm ue cvds come with stock sized hubs.
